First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special implant made from donated umbilical cord tissue to treat a type of hand arthritis called STT osteoarthritis. The implant is placed in the joint during surgery to cushion it and reduce pain. Researchers will follow 14 adults for one year to see if their hand function and pain improve.

- Active substance
- processed amniotic membrane implant
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new surgical option to reduce pain and improve hand function without needing a more invasive procedure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial with only 14 people, so results may not apply widely. The implant could cause inflammation or fail to relieve symptoms.
